Congestion pricing support

The issue is traffic in Manhattan. The government's possible solution is congestion pricing—charging drivers $11.52 in fees to drive south of 60th Street during peak traffic times. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone is one of the 16 people on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Fix New York City panel that made the recommendation. Bellone said the solution makes sense. The proposal could raise up to $1.5 billion a year to help fund the antiquated subway system.
